Bai Lu inside screamed in fear, and all the hyena soldiers and even all the hyena people present began to talk and chatter. Yunwen and I never expected such a thing to happen. We thought it would be a parent-child reunion, fatherly education, and the love of a mother for her child, but it turned out to be such a result. It was really horrifying.
"Oh my god, is this killing his own father? How can he do that?" I shouted anxiously.
At this moment, seeing that the little crown prince looked indifferent, he wiped the blood on his hand on Bai Lu's face. There was a bloody blade pierced in the throat of the big fang on the ground. It looked like it should be the silver knife that Bai Lu often used to cut vegetables. He must have held it in his hand just now in order to be able to kill Song Bailu at any time. He never expected that the big fang would come forward and really hit the blade.
Yunwen's face turned pale as well. She shook her head and said, "Its father just told it the situation and asked it to recognize you as its new master, but this kid stabbed it directly in the fatal spot without saying a word. It's really scary."
I sighed and said, "Its mother is a person who can endure and dormant for the right to rule, and can make all kinds of sacrifices. It is most like its mother. I guess Big Fang wanted it to recognize me as its new master. It felt that it would affect its inheritance of rule, so it killed its father without hesitation to make an example of him."
Yunwen dismounted again and walked towards the yard. I also dismounted and followed her. The other nine male hyena people also followed us. The female hyena people were hesitant. They neither stopped us nor went towards us. They just protected the little hyena people in their hands and retreated to the side.
We followed the path that the female hyenas had retreated on, moving forward through the front yard and into the inner room. Only when we were close to the little hyena sitting on the table did we see two or three female hyenas blocking the way. I remembered them; they were the ones serving the little princess in Huahua's bedroom. According to our understanding, they were the royal nannies or maids, and at this moment they were still planning to be loyal and protect their master.
When Bai Lu saw Yunwen coming to rescue her, she was stunned. Her expression was filled with surprise, jealousy, and a little unwillingness.
"Yunwen, what are you going to do?" I asked.
"I'll try talking to it again. It's still young and may not understand life well enough..." Yunwen hadn't finished her words when she heard a crackling sound.
Yunwen and I immediately widened our eyes. The situation in front of us was too sudden. We saw that the little hyena died in the same way as it killed its father just now. Both had their throats pierced. It covered its throat and made a whimpering sound mixed with blood rolling in its throat. It was in pain but couldn't open its mouth. It kicked its feet in pain and fell off the table to the ground, lying next to its father. The blood of the father and daughter mixed together.
The one who killed the little hyena man was none other than Song Bailu, who had been timid just now. She took advantage of the fact that the other hyena men didn't notice her and posed no threat to her, and immediately attacked her using Song Yingchun's Youlong dagger. However, she did not leave the knife in the opponent's throat. Instead, she stabbed it through and pulled it out immediately, causing blood to splatter all over her body.
All the hyenas were stunned again, and Song Bailu looked at Yunwen, not even bothering to wipe the blood off her face, like a demon, and said, "What else is there to talk about? It treated me like that just now, like its dog. I have to give it whatever it wants. If I take the wrong thing or give it the wrong thing, it will beat me. What's the point of keeping such an evil thing! As a mascot? Besides, I said there would be such a day when the hyenas would suddenly do something like this, but you didn't listen. Now you're making me suffer, and you still have the nerve to stay out of it and say you want to negotiate with a beast. What the hell!"
Seeing Yunwen looking a little disappointed, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. You said that this hyena only listens to one person. Now that I am the king, no other power should appear. This is also a protection for our own survival. Otherwise, it will be disadvantageous to us if it lives and grows up. After all, we have to guarantee our own lives."
Yunwen sighed and said, "That's right. Since ancient times, when dynasties changed, the heirs of the previous dynasty had to be killed quickly to eliminate the root of the problem. Now that it has happened, it's just like that."
No matter what, the situation is gradually improving now. Whether it's Yunwen's negotiations that turned the tide, or Bai Lu's revealing his true colors to prevent future troubles, both have laid a good foundation for our future security.
After that, the situation became peaceful. They no longer had conflicts. Now the only one who could obey orders was me. With unified orders, the next things would be easy.
I asked the hyenas to take the father and daughter out to the open space and cremate them in the same way as before. Then I arranged for them to return to their caves first, and ordered them to gather at the venue when they heard my whistle. I planned to make some arrangements for them. After all, their leader had been killed by me, and I was now their direct commander. This commander not only had the power to command them, but also had the obligation to take care of them. Since I had met them, I had to be responsible to the end, so this arrangement was imperative.
Of course, I asked Yunwen to translate all of this for me and announce the content. After the hyena people understood, they left the house one by one and returned to the cave. There were only three of us left here. Bai Lu still looked unhappy. After all, Yunwen not only came back, but also gained the ability to communicate with all things. This made her more like a good wife. Then her fantasy about me must have been shattered. How could she be happy?
At this time, Yunwen walked up to Bailu, held her hand, and pulled open the sleeves of her clothes. There were a lot of bloodstains on them, and a lot of bruises on her face, body, and neck. It was obvious that she had just suffered a lot of torture. Song Bailu pushed her away.
Yunwen sighed and said, "Sister Bailu, I'm sorry for not considering your feelings just now. I also want to tell you that I was too selfish before. I just wanted to occupy Zhou Bo alone on this deserted island. I didn't think about your situation and anxiety. I guess this kind of life is very tormenting for you, right?"
"I don't need your sympathy. In my opinion, you just want to show off to me how much Zhou Bo feels for you. Saying these words is just my way of bragging. Zhou Bo would go through fire and water for you, he can give you a name, he can give you everything, so that he can hit me and make me completely give up, right?" Bai Lu said.
I was a little embarrassed, but I couldn't say anything.
Yunwen stepped forward again with a gentle face, took Bailu's hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't think so. This time I have only been a bystander, watching everything you did for Zhou Bo, the words you said, the love you showed, the care you gave, all of which were deeply affectionate. Some of the care was even considerate, which made me feel inferior. It's not that Zhou Bo didn't see it, but he always took me into consideration, so he didn't dare to accept you. But his heart is not made of iron. How could he not be moved by your daily care?"
"What do you want to say?" Bai Lu said.
"I said before that I would let Zhou Bo marry you, and now I still want to insist..." I interrupted Yunwen before she finished speaking.
"No! How can this be possible?" I said hurriedly.
At this time, Yunwen put her tender hands on my mouth and shook her head at me. Her movements were very gentle and her eyes were sincere. I nodded in understanding and let her continue.
"I still want to insist that Zhou Bo marry you. First, it fulfills your wish. Second, Zhou Bo did have sexual relations with you. This is an established fact. Therefore, I suggest this for both emotional and logical reasons. But I can't give up Zhou Bo. After all, you can see the relationship between him and me. If he gives up on me because of you, I don't think he can do it, and it would be too much to ask." Yunwen said.
"You mean? Follow the ancient methods!" Bai Lu's expression eased a lot.
"You just want stability and the name of a family. We are now in this remote place, not in the civilized world. So what if we just pretend to be in ancient times? Since it is a special situation, we should be treated specially. How about you and I serve Zhou Bo together?" Yunwen said.
Bai Lu looked at me. Just as Yun Wen said, I have some feelings for her as a couple. Even if it was just once, we are still a couple for a day. Since Yun Wen agreed, why not go with the flow? It's better than going through the motions.
I nodded and said, "Since Yunwen said so, I have to take responsibility. When the ancestral hall is repaired, I will marry you two. But I also agreed that Yunwen will be the principal wife and Bailu will be the concubine. If you can accept it, then let it go. If not, then forget it."
Bai Lu trotted over and held my hand: "Sure, sure, I'll be your wife. I'm fine with anything!"
At this time, there was a noise outside, and someone shouted, "I want one too. I am one of Zhou Lang's wives."
